Helping You Navigate Career Pivots with Confidence | Forbes 30U30 Founder

Welcome to my profile! I’m Michael, a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder whose career has been shaped by navigating major pivots and high-stakes decisions without a clear playbook. I started on a traditional path toward medicine, left medical school to pursue entrepreneurship, built and scaled a media company reaching over 25 million people monthly, and later earned my MBA from Wharton to deepen how I think about strategy, leadership, and long-term career planning. I understand how overwhelming career decisions can feel, especially when you’re questioning a path you’ve invested years into or considering a pivot into something less traditional like entrepreneurship. I’ve lived the tension between stability and risk, prestige and fulfillment, and short-term security versus long-term optionality. I’ve also had the benefit of learning from mentors, building teams, and making real decisions with real consequences, not hypothetical ones. I work with people who are feeling stuck, at a crossroads, or thinking seriously about changing direction. Some are exploring entrepreneurship or side projects. Others are deciding whether to pivot roles, industries, or functions, or trying to understand what success should look like at this stage of their life and career. My approach is practical, honest, and grounded in real experience. I focus on helping you clarify what you want, pressure-test your options, and move forward with confidence rather than second-guessing. If you’re facing a big career decision and want thoughtful guidance from someone who’s navigated multiple transitions at scale, I’d love to help you think clearly and build a path you can stand behind.
